Tom Welling as Superman

[RakuMon]

Thanks for answering me, Pat. I figured that was what Jack's post was saying, but gosh...I never really know for sure anymore.

So, I guess this is yet another confirmation that Tom won't be anywhere near this JLA film; which is a bummer. I was looking forward to seeing him don the cape. I guess this just reconfirms Zings earlier posts as well. I believe he said it wasn't going to happen with Tom. I just can't remember if Zing mentioned if the rumors of Tom actually being considered were true or not. Guess it doesn't much matter now anyway.

I know for a fact, on good authority, that Welling was at least considered for the role.

[OobeDoobBenubi]

So Miller is working on another movie while he is in pre production on Justice League ? Is he quitting Justice League :huh:

[ZIPBAGS]

Well if Miller quits...Please hire Sam Raimi. He knows how to handle a comic book hero.


And you know news about Welling is light. Since most of the threads have been about Miller and the proper spelling of "casted". ;)

[triplet]

How about an episode in which he does all of the above, for more than five seconds apiece?
:woot::woot::woot::woot::woot:

I *like* Aquadude. And yes, I think we need a Harry Potter-esque underwater rescue scene. Some evil mer-dude can take Lana, Lois, and Chloe hostage; Clark and Arthur have to save them before their oxygen runs out - but they only (seem to) have time to save two of the gals. [Yes, I suppose we could let Kara help - give the guys some screen time & solve the problem - but I'd prefer a Clarkie solution :->]

There's a heat wave in Smallville. Clark starts out in flannels. Moves to overalls & a white tee. Takes off the (very sweaty) tee - it's an abnormal heat wave! - and puts on a clean white sleeveless undershirt. Burns through that - literally - and rips off the smoldering wifebeater (I hate that term!)

You know, I don't like the wife-beater term either but it seems like if I had called it a "tank top" people wouldn't know what I was talking about...


and finishes up his chores in just the overalls. Eventually changes (!!!) into his swim trunks & heads down to the lake to cool off. Arthur finds him there; informs him that evil mer-dude has some sort of power station underwater that's frying the atmosphere. It's tinted with greenK, which is why Clark was sweating. Arthur will take out the greenK part of the station while Clark deals with the parts less hazardous to him. They go underwater. That's when Clark discovers his trio of imprisoned babes and has to rescue them AND help Arthur before something implodes/explodes and kills Arthur...

LOL!

I love it...

Actually I *cough* read *cough* a fanfic that had a scenario where Clark had a Laundry Emergency (http://dm-wyatt.livejournal.com/14202.html) and went a whole episode in just his boxers...

:ninja:

You might want to check it out, only slightly clexy...

Maybe Miller wanted Evans for Superman but the WB found out about all of the fan negativity towards him & the WB told Miller that he can not have Evans & Miller is slowly looking to walk out of Justice League :huh: It is interesting how we find out about this after the fan back slash from the Evans rumors.

Because to the general public men who beat their wives typically wear tank tops.

What has she been in.Ya got me. I think I remember reading "Grudge 2" or some horror film along those lines.

After all of the casting nonsense we've been through, I'm just gonna sit back and munch my popcorn. I'm only going to "care" when something is confirmed, 'cause until then, everything is just a rumor.

[OobeDoobBenubi]

I like how the article quotes which I highly doubt is true

IN THE eyes of many male fans Teresa Palmer already is pretty super

while I don't think it is true, I don't really care who is cast as WW. I only care about the actor playing Superman and to a lesser extent, the actor playing Batman. Everything else, I'll let it slide.

That story reminds me of the ''Daily Mail'' here in the UK reporting David Boreanaz was playing Superman in a £20mil 3 picture deal ,this was when Ratner was still directing.

Hollywood Reporter was the first to report on Teresa Palmer. They confirmed that Palmer (as well as Mary Elizabeth Winstead) did infact screen test for George Miller last week.

On the roll call are Adam Brody (Fox's "The O.C."), Joseph Cross ("Running With Scissors"), D.J. Cotrona ("Windfall"), Mary Elizabeth Winstead ("Grindhouse"), Michael Angarano ("Sky High"), Teresa Palmer ("Wolf Creek"), Max Thieriot ("Jumper") and rapper Common.

Nobody has been confirmed for the roles yet, though that article I posted earlier today said the actress herself said she got it. That's what I found interesting. Again... not that I care until we hear something official. I'm trying not to sweat the small stuff right now.

I want to see a great cast, but I'll be less critical of them if I get what I want for Big Blue. *cough* I'm not ashamed to admit that; this is entertainment after all, and I know what entertains me. Immensely. Now if they cast some no-name pencil-neck geek from Po Dunk Indiana as Superman (no offense to pencil-neck geeks from Po Dunk Indiana), the rest of the cast BETTER be smokin', because if they're just "blah," the film will just be "blah" to me too, and that's regardless of how good the story or production is. Story is important, characters are fun, but it's the actors who I watch.

You know what's amazing, it does not matter what website, board, thread or blog you're on, if it has to do with Justice League or Superman, Tom Welling dominates the discussion. What else can be said but, WB, cast him already.

[triplet]

Interesting news on the potential strike, the producers have presented the WGA with a new deal in hopes of bringing them back to the bargaining table:

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117974760.html?categoryid=18&cs=1

Here's some of what the article says:



But the companies' new proposal may meet strong resistance since it doesn't include any change in several key WGA demands including a boost in DVD residuals, and hikes in the minimum rates for The CW and MyNetwork.

The move to present a new proposal came after two days of huddling by execs to hammer out a strategy to avert a strike, which could start as early as next Thursday. Counter has expressed his frustration repeatedly with the WGA over its refusal to budge from its initial package of 26 proposals, first presented three months ago when negotiations launched.

It's the second move by the AMPTP in the past two weeks to salvage the negotiations. Counter took the companies' controversial residuals revamp -- which would have tied payouts to the recoupment of basic costs -- off the table on Oct. 16 but the WGA leaders were unimpressed and asserted that the AMPTP should have never made the proposal in the first place.

The guild has insisted it won't discuss the other AMPTP proposals until they're modified to take so-called "rollbacks" off the table - including no coverage for new media such as streaming and cell-phone mobisodes; the right to credit any amounts due a writer against other payments; elimination of the requirement that writing credits appear in publicity and advertising; and restrictions in the ability of writers to exploit TV rights and reacquire screenplays.

Lets face it people, fans have been wanting this for a VERY long time.

Before Singer was announced, a bogus report was written by an overzealous fan that sent fandom into a tailspin. Here's the original article:
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/5/prweb129294.htm

And here's the retraction/explanation/apology:
http://screenrant.com/archives/tom-wellingsuperman-movie-rumo-76.html

But the damage was done. Tons of sites picked up on that and I think Warners sat up and paid some attention. That was back in freakin' 2004. It's just crazy now.

You know all of the size/muscle arguments? They see that stuff.
You know all of the unrelated references on other tv shows and movies? They see that stuff.
You know all of the SV and TW fansites with THOUSANDS of registered users? They see that stuff.
You know all of the top selling home video sales for Superman titles? They see that stuff.

I'm the first person to label Warner Bros. dumber than a box of rox, but they're not blind. Truth be told, the idea of putting Welling in the tights in a FEATURE FILM has been discussed since 2003. This aint new, and it's not news. It's just finally starting to come to fruition. Fingers crossed people. Fingers crossed....

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Regardless a show with 5 million viewers on good ratings is still not enough of a voice to be a reason WB wants Welling in a big screen adaption. If it were to happen it's because a director maybe did like him on SV personally and wanted a screen test and if cast, decided he would work for the script he is shooting. It would not be due to the fan size imo though.

That said, Winsted could still be considered a "name" actress. She WAS in Die Hard 4 and Sky High. Those weren't exactly indie productions. Reynolds and Welling ARE names, no matter how much people want to argue it though - and I'm sure some would.

My interest emphasis is obviously on the Superman casting (duh!), but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't almost equally interested to find out who the HELL they got to play Batman. THAT role is going to be just as pivotal.

And he just happen to be wearing the "blue" t-shirt. ;)

Actually, it would have been cooler if they could have placed the shot of him walking away and make it look like he was wearing the cape. But, I guess the point was that he was sticking with Smallville and not being Superman.

I have to say that was definitely conveyed in his facial expression. I don't always give credit to Tom for acting moments but this time in that particular moment I did think his approach was right on.

[triplet]

I know, Pat...

However, I meant that image just might be a visual metaphor for Tom too, not just for Clark.

Clark is walking away from his future there, going back to the house and to Lana and away from his destiny, but is Tom walking away from another possible future there as well?

It just made me sad to see the metaphor hitting us right smack in the forehead like that.

Maybe Tom won't be in JLA, but I hope somehow he will.

You always hear that there's a fear to being typecast as Superman, and having your career ruined. I'm sure that runs through the mind, but just as much, it's one's chance to be immortal.

He may never do another thing again, but if he pulls off being Superman, he'll live on forever. Long after he dies people will still post pictures of him, speak of him with reverence.

Not many human beings get to say that.

And given that he'd have played the character for 7 years before he launched into playing him another 7 years on the big screen (if successful), you can pretty much bet he'd go down THE Superman. How hard would it be for any other person to top the amount of time he'd put in as the character? Even now, it'll be hard for anyone to top him.

In the short term it might make someone think twice, but when you're old/nearing the end of your journey, and fame has loooong since faded, I'm sure anyone would think of it differently.

That doesn't mean he can't walk away from one or both if offered a role in JLA, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I think there's still a better chance of Welling as Superman than Reynolds for Flash.

I can tell you that ALL major roles have been filled. I'm waiting on the complete list and will most certainly post it within minutes of getting it.

Look at it this way. The WB knows that everyone wants Reynolds as Flash, but Miller/Co. Maybe wants someone younger. Maybe for once they listened, got Reynolds to play Barry and someone else as Wally. Barry probably won't be in much of this film anyway so it doesn't really need to interfere with Reynolds other projects.

Than again I really wany Reynolds as Flash so my heart may be speaking, not my head. Thanks Pat for the link.

The information I have so far about the cast list, Teresa Palmer is not Wonder Women. It may have changed, but I doubt it. Remember, tons of sites covered the Rupert Evans as Superman story and I shot that rumor down in less than 24 hours CLICK HERE (http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=170&func=view&id=2686&catid=20&limit=6&limitstart=60). Robert provided back up to my post by contacting the same source.

The full cast is coming out in few days. Whether its me or Robert who posts it or not, someone is gonna leak it out.[/COLOR]

I have a full list but two names (for Batman and Aquaman) are still being confirmed. As I've said previously, I'm willing to bet Robert has the list too and will be confirming things while in L.A. So either way, everyone should know soon. I will say that I'm not disappointed.

Meaning I think he is thankful for the role and for the love and support his fans show him but he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life as Superman. He has been doing it for 7 years (maybe 8 if there is an 8th season) I don't see him wanting to play Superman for another 5 to 7 years.

Fair enough. I'm pretty sure it'll be a fun movie no matter who is cast - even if it were Routh as Superman :p - but I totally understand having disinterest based on individual biases.That all depends on if Singer stays aboard for the project. Anyway from how Millar talked it looks like they are still going with a sequel to Singer's movie just with a different writing staff.

[TheComicbookKid]

What comicbook fan would not want to see the seven heroes in live action? (if done right).

I like the serious approach Singer and Nolan took, but to pull off JL, you have to abandon that way or radically alter the premise like the Ultimates.
ON a side note, Avengers is silly too, but Ultimates did provide a plausible template on how to do it,imo.

"MOS" will happen, but probably not in a form most people are expecting right now.

I know that lawsuit with the Siegels is a factor, plus Shuster's family comes into it in 2012. I don't think the WB is sure what to do right now.

Fair enough. I'm pretty sure it'll be a fun movie no matter who is cast - even if it were Routh as Superman :p - but I totally understand having disinterest based on individual biases.

I actually didn't want Routh in it. Batman vs. Superman could have worked.
But I am glad you Wellingites will get the chance to post pics of him in the actual suit instead of manups.

That all depends on if Singer stays aboard for the project. Anyway from how Millar talked it looks like they are still going with a sequel to Singer's movie just with a different writing staff.

I'm being pessimistic in hope of being surprised. Dougherty and Harris aren't necessary(it's rare that the same writers write an entire trilogy), but for me Singer is. It was his aesthetics(colors, sets and camera angles)that made the movie work for me. I think the WB could go either revamp or sequel at this point depending on script.

[DvilDog]

Kind of off base, but didnt the first 14 pages of the script start off with the heros assembled for a funeral? If the rumors of 2 flashes are true then it could be his death they are there for? Just a thought. As much as I want reynolds as the flash i didnt think they would cast him as Allen and then kill him to have Wally take over? I could be way off base though.

[JackMercy]

As much as I want Reynolds as the Flash I didn't think they would cast him as Allen and then... have Wally take over?

Well, that is one way to get out of doing sequels...

[AgentPat]

Well, that is one way to get out of doing sequels...It's a win/win, init? Give the fans what they want AND appease the actor at the same time.

Of course, there's sooooo many ways of appeasing actors these days. I believe Jack Nicholsen is "appeased" to this day. :)

I like the serious approach Singer and Nolan took, but to pull off JL, you have to abandon that way or radically alter the premise like the Ultimates.The 14 page script leak (the new one) sounds pretty serious. It doesn't sound like they're going for camp, though to any non-comic book fan, the costumes alone do make it seem silly. But if they got away with it in SR, I don't see why they couldn't in JL.

I actually didn't want Routh in it.Apparently, neither did Warners. :ninja:

Batman vs. Superman could have worked.It still could. :D

But I am glad you Wellingites will get the chance to post pics of him in the actual suit instead of manups.I'm not counting any chickens before they're hatched. I'll sacrifice them, but I aint counting them just yet.

I'm being pessimistic in hope of being surprised.That makes two of us.

We try not to discuss Brandon much in this forum so I will make this short and sweet. I liked Brandon and throughout the movie i kept saying to myself dang he really reminds me of Reeve, but thats not what i really wanted when it came down to it. Reeve's interpretation is just that his. I think if they would have allowed Brandon to take his own direction maybe he could have done something more with the role. i thought he was a fine Superman and I wouldnt have minded seeing him as Big Blue again, but as much as I loved SR I really do i think we need something fresh and something new. i think tom brings that. Thats why i continue to watch Smallville every thursday at 7. I mean the hot chicks are great but lets face it Tom makes that show for me. Thats why through all the crappy writing and horrible scripts they have from time to time i still watch because Tom sales Clark Kent and even though he isnt Superman.... yet i see Superman everytime i tune in. And thats why i hope against all hope that he can don the tights. If he bombs it he bombs but at least give the man a chance to show the other side of what he has been doing for 7 years! ok maybe this wasnt short and sweet

[ZIPBAGS]

I do love how that guy from Warner said that having Welling as Supes would confuse people. That's absurd. So having another guy play Supes after we just saw Routh in a Superman movie is not confusing? Please. People are smart enough to realize its a movie and it may not be the same.

On a side note. I would love to know Welling's reaction to fans hope to see him in a Superman movie. Assuming the jokes and story of last nights episode. I am sure the writers and producers know. ;)

And finally on Routh. I had nothing against him. I was just so completely turned off by the story and character backgrounds. I didn't want a remake/sequel to a 30yr old movie. I didn't want characters based on a out of date background (ie-Lex not a corporate villain) and I despised the whole him leaving for 5yrs and the especially the kid storyline. What I loved is the scene where he rescues the plane. If this movie would have been like Batman Begins. That scene would have been the perfect way to introduce the world (& Lois) to Superman. Thats all I have to say about that. ;)

Now, back to our regular scheduled programming...Hoping for Welling as Supes.

[DvilDog]

I do wish Tom would share his thoughts. I know hes not big on interviews, but at the same time his fans would like to know how he feels about being cast/not cast, considered/not considered. From what everyone on the set says about him its not just a pretty face on a big body he has a super brain up there too!

"Tool" being the operative word.

People may refer to Noveck as DC's equivalent of Avi Arad, but trust me, he is not. He's a liason between DC and WB, but other than that, he has no real say. His job is to tow the company line. That's it.

That's one reason. ;)No thats the main reason. Had Bale said yes Routh would have been Superman for this movie but since Bale said no then Routh can't do it either. They were suppose to be some sort of package deal. Bale however wants to just finish up his Batman series and be done with Batman all together.

I've been following JLA news since it broke, and as far as I can tell, there was never any interest in Routh, even when they wanted Bale. The only talk of Routh in the rumor mill was that the studio wasn't going to have him.

feel free to provide a link, if i'm overlooking something, though.

actually its more like the guys inside WB who are doing JLA are anti-SR, and therefor they want nothing to do with Routh, lest the public think the 2 are related.

As for Bale, he was never even asked. Although him saying "no" to anything wouldn't matter. Per his contract, they could've used him for Batman in a JLA if they wanted to, but WB prefers to keep his franchise with Nolan running.

"I do know most of the cast. So does Robert at IESB. Since he's gonna be in L.A., he'll most likely get the rest of it before I do. I'm just happy this is finally gonna come out.

For the record though, I'm pretty happy about the cast so far.http://images.countingdown.com/images/ubb/icons/wink.gif "


I see there are still no solid confirmations. Poop. :(

I was thinking about what emijayne said above, and as much as I want to believe that she's happy because Tom was cast (and we know how much she wants that), I think there's another situation that might make her almost as happy - knowing for SURE that Routh wasn't cast. She seems to detest Routh almost as much, or even more than she loves Tom.

So her happiness could simply be knowing that even though Tom is definitely out, they still cast someone with potential that *wasn't* Routh.

I'm hoping that she's happy because it IS Tom, but I'm trying to not count on that anymore.

But my fingers and toes are still crossed. ;)

Which Supervillains Must Contend With The JUSTICE LEAGUE??

I am – Hercules!!


A reputable (if technically untested) source says he’s read the new “Justice League of America” script and lived to tell of it. This info below is teeming with major spoilers (especially if you haven’t read any DC Comics in a few years), so we have cloaked our source's answers in the miracle that is invisotext.

Keep in mind that this is a script that was maybe written before George Miller came aboard the project as director a few weeks ago. Since Miller typically writes or co-writes the movies he directs, things could change by the time “League” makes the leap to cinemas.



JLA FAQ

Does the Justice League exist at the start of the film?
It does not.

Has Batman met all the superheroes he has under surveillance?
Yes.

Are the heroes surprised Batman knows all their
secret identities?
No.

Does Lois or Luthor appear in the movie?
Lois is mentioned; no Lex.

With which supervillains must the League contend?
Maxwell Lord, Talia al Ghul (daughter of “Batman Begins’” Ra’s al Ghul) and the Omacs.

Does Superman have a big part?
Superman has a huge part as well as a huge fight with Wonder Woman and Batman.

Do Wonder Woman and Batman team up against Superman?
Diana does team up with Batman against Superman.

Whose side is Martian Manhunter on?
Martian Manhunter is not involved nor is anyone else, they are all fighting other people or hurt.

Does Aquaman have a big part?
Not so much.

Do we get to see Atlantis or Themyscira?
We see Atlantis briefly, no Paradise Island.

Do Hawkman, The Atom, Green Arrow, Zatanna, Hal Jordan
or Black Canary appear and/or exist in this universe??
No.

Are Aquaman, Wonder Woman, The Flash(es), Batman,
Superman, John Stewart and J'onn J'onzz the only DC
superheroes in the movie?
Yes.

A living, breathing Barry Allen appears in the script. Is Wally West in the movie as well?
Both Wally and Barry are heavily featured in the film, and are the best written characters in the script.

What’s the best thing about the script?
Best thing about the script besides all the Flashes stuff is the fight with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.

Is that Barry Allen’s funeral at the start of the script?
Yes.

What ZIPBAGS said.

I truly hope you guys are right.

I'm just putting up buffers in case you're not. Part of me says it's definitely Tom, but I'm afraid to believe it. We've been so disappointed before by unsubstantiated rumors. My battle armor has worn very thin.

[KalKai]

It seems very unlikely that she'd be happy for another reason but you never know, she'd have to explain that 1.

You either want to believe it, or you don't. ;)

If it turns out that the Teresa chick is WW then I'll take what emi said about Welling with a grain of salt, but she's been pretty accurate so far.

I think when you have a guy with a large fan base playing the character (Welling) and guy with a who has just played the character (Routh) who has a fan base of his own you make it VERY hard to recast the character.

Also few big name actors want the role it seems as they are scared of type casting and the unknown route (Routh ) did'nt work out to well.So again it make's Welling look the best choice.

I find Tom is a love or hate fella with regards being cast as Superman on SHH anyway.

2 factors are
a)People who dislike Smallville for not being accurate to the comics.
b)Alot of Routh fans...which I can get, if they said Routh was going to replace Tom on Smallville I'd be pissed :oldrazz:

[phil]

With all due respect I just wish these people with contacts would stop the hints and winks and just shut up until they can actually say something. To me it's a lot more annoying then the cast not revealed yet. You see Sanchez giving hints and winks and then when asked about it he ignores the posts. If they don't want to say what they know they should not say anything at all, it feels like I'm in high school.
